Climate change has increased the likelihood of occurrence disasters like wildfires, floods, storms, and landslides worldwide in last years. Weather conditions continuously rapidly, wildfires are occurring repeatedly diffusing with higher intensity. The burnt catchments known, many parts world, as one main sensitive areas to debris flows characterized by different trigger mechanisms (runoff-initiated slide-initiated flow). large number studies produced recent decades shown how response a...
The building stock around the world is exposed to different types of natural actions such as earthquakes or landslides. In particular, Italy one countries worldwide most affected by Mitigation landslide risk a topic great interest for evaluation and management its consequences. Periodical monitoring landslide-induced damage on structures require high costs due large number elements. With respect reinforced concrete structures, slow-moving landslides can affect primary structural elements,...
Abstract Different forms of hazard can affect structures throughout their existence. The occurrence a seismic event in areas exposed to different risks or already affected by other phenomena is highly likely, especially countries characterized high seismicity and equally hydrogeological risk, as Italy. Nevertheless, the safety assessment reinforced concrete (RC) commonly carried out considering action only, generally applied an analytical model, neglecting stress–strain state induced...
Landslides are recognized as one of the most damaging natural hazards in Italy. Campania region represents a complex geological setting, where mass movements different types widespread, and urban expansion can be increasingly seen by presence buildings infrastructure landslide-prone areas. In such context, monitoring unstable slopes key activity process landslide risk prevention mitigation, order to correctly establish cause–effect correlation predict possible reactivation phases that may...
Land subsidence due to underground resources exploitation is a well-known problem that affects many cities in the world, especially ones located along coastal areas where combined effect of and sea level rise increases flooding risk. In this study, 25 years land affecting Municipality Ravenna (Italy) are monitored using Advanced Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (A-DInSAR) techniques. particular, new Sentinel-1A SAR data allowed us extend monitoring period till 2016,...
In most countries, landslides have caused severe socioeconomic impacts on people, cities, industrial establishments, and lifelines, such as highways, railways, communication network systems. Socioeconomic losses due to slope failures are very high they been growing the built environment expands into unstable hillside areas under pressures of populations. Human activities construction buildings, transportation routes, dams, artificial canals often a major factor for increasing damage...
Many sloping areas of Campania in Southern Italy are widely covered by pyroclastic deposits derived from the activity Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei volcanic complexes. These highly susceptible to rapid flow-like landslides triggered intense precipitation, often after antecedent wet periods. Vegetation can play a relevant role increasing stability such slopes. Indeed, influence plants on mechanical hydraulic behaviour slopes is significant within first few meters subsoil, where root systems may...
Landslides are among the most important and frequent natural calamities that cause severe socio-economic human losses. After earthquakes, landslides responsible for greatest number of casualties largest amount damage to man-made structures. On average, southern Italy is affected by a high spatial density due its complex geological setting, which often predisposes it slope instability phenomena under both anthropogenic influences. Structurally formations widespread in Apennines characterized...
The paper shows an innovative methodology which can be used to forecast the spatial and temporal evolution of buildings' structural vulnerability in urban settlements affected by slow-moving intermittent landslides. Multi-level integrated analysis, conventional monitoring techniques with analysis methods for damage assessment allows estimate, at different levels accuracy, future conditions local failures single buildings building aggregates. To this purpose, last decade, Satellite Radar...
Abstract In recent decades, developing countries have experienced an increase in the impact of natural disasters due to ongoing climate change and sustained expansion urban areas. The intrinsic vulnerability settlements, poverty poor governance, as well lack tools for occupation planning mitigation protocols, has made such impacts particularly severe. Cuenca (Ecuador) is a significant example city that decades considerable population growth (i.e. exposure) associated loss landslide...
The occurrence of geological events such as landslides is one the main causes damage along linear infrastructures: Damage to transport infrastructures, roads, bridges, and railways, can restrict their optimal functions contribute traffic accidents. frequent accurate monitoring slope instability phenomena interaction with existing man-made infrastructures plays a key role in risk prevention mitigation activities. In this way, use high-resolution X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data,...
Abstract. Softening is often considered to be the main cause of first-time slides in OC clay, but so far mechanics softening has not been satisfactorily explained. Bearing on laboratory data and field observations about landslides tectonized highly plastic clay shales Italian Apennines, paper describes a process soil weakening that could explain some failures natural slopes.
